  "summary": "Michigan tight end Zack Marshall has apologized for leaking messages that criticized offensive coordinator Jason Beck following the Wolverines' 20-14 loss to Minnesota. In a post on X, Marshall admitted to making inappropriate comments in the hours after the game, stating that he regretted pointing fingers and not taking accountability. The leaked group messages alleged that Beck had met with the team's tight ends and told them they were not valuable to the offense, as well as criticizing the Wolverines' offensive scheme. Marshall, a senior, has played in five games this season and apologized to his teammates and coaches for causing unnecessary drama. Michigan ranks 122nd in total offense in the Football Bowl Subdivision, averaging 315.8 yards per game, and has struggled in recent games, failing to reach the 20-point mark in four of their five games.",
